Baler leaves twine pieces

Thanks Gavin

The twine holder is'nt releasing the leftover into the new knot, so then the knife cuts it behind where it was being held and the next charge of twine makes the holder release it.

I would clean and adjust my twine holder because it can eventually get worse til it plugs up the twine disc and starts shearing the knotter drive shear bolts.

If it's all adjusted right and the knives are sharp the loose piece comes out of the twine disc and becomes part of the knot instead of being cut off as a loose piece of twine.

If you keep letting it do like that you eventually have to either push the pieces back out of the way to keep it from plugging the disc or be ready to add shear bolts as needed.

If it is eventually falling away from the twine disc so that it won't hang or keep stacking up in it then it would'nt make much difference unless you just don't want the tabs in your hay.

It has about 1/2" of twine left that can't be adjusted out. It's what stays in the disc when it's through tying the knot.

When this one gets up to over and inch it's getting ready to start stacking and screw up again.

I thought about something else too. If it's working ok and is'nt giving any troubles it might be alot better to use the old "if it aint broke don't fix it" rule.

No matter what length it leaves the string I still aint ever gonna use poly twine again so it's ok.

I used poly twine on the rounds and square both about 6-8 yrs ago and I'm still catching the d****d stuff in the bushhog every year. Not much, just enough to knock the bottom seal out on the hog.
